Hello again,

 

the kit issue has actually been reported against the original (i.e. non-EE ?) mod version here.

http://www.shsforums...e-3#entry591902

 

I will stop posting here now because I believe this is the wrong thread. Eventually I will open a new topic.

 

Thank you very much !

Lots of NPCs got changed kits like Nalia and Valygar, does anyone know which mod is responsible for that? Valygar Corthala isnt able to wear the upgraded version of his armor made by Cromwell. Not sure which mod added more recipes for Cromwell

Hard to say without knowing what mods you have installed. I know of at least four mods that could have this effect.

This why I think it's a mistake for BWS to put so much emphasis on pre-set selections... people don't even know what mods they are installing!

Right, ok so then it's all the same to you if we come and complain about all the eXpert bugs on your forum cause no such category exist anymore and people get all sorts of bugs that have never been looked at ?
The categories are there for that purpose... and game balance. The Tactical is totally off the balance axles, but that's why it's there. And the minimal is there for the minimum required mods. Yes, there 2 preset selections between those three, and the one is more balanced than the other. Had you actually bothered to actually use the program you would know this. Different OS dude.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

If the player checks a box that says "change Valygar into a Beastmaster" then they won't be surprised when they see Valygar the Beastmaster in the game. And they will know which mod made that change and they can post on the mod's forum about his armor usability.

That would be miles better than coming here and saying "BWS changed Valygar and now stuff doesn't work!"

Saving players the tiny amount of effort involved in checking some boxes and consciously choosing which mods they want to install, is not doing them much of a favor, since it often leads to this kind of useless error report. Case in point, this guy's problem hasn't been solved...

I finally managed to find multiple pre-fixes for stuff that gets broken later on (RoT, Sandrah-Imoen Romance, etc) and now the install is stuck 3/4 in Sword Coast Stratagems, I left it when I went to bed at 5 am, its 1:30 PM and still stuck in this 3  (just in case you think its a slow PC, it isnt at all, I reinstalled this multiple times this week and never took more than 3-4 hours)

 I'll try to close it and resume it

Trying to close the App, but since it has to finish for the current install in order to avoid errors, it seems like it will never close, since its well, stuck in that specific part. 

 

wat do

Had to close the APP with task manager, and I noticed the SCS dos file was still executing, consuming half my ram (4 GB for a single install). Now I reopened the APP and its going flawlessly, couldn't catch the exact moment that defect part got done, hope no problems occur because of that

 

Thank you for this wonderful thing, it's amazing

Hi, I've been trying to make a new EET installation and decided to try Sandrah out -- so I installed a lot of components to get as much out of it as possible. However, it seems that Region of Terror cannot be installed. I've been informed by Roxanne that I should only install the core component of it but BWS doesn't seem to provide any control over its components anymore. Any way I could go around it?

 

(Just for the record, here's the bug I was getting:

Unpack the rar that Roxanne gave in the other page (I think it was 197- 8) in the BWS folder/OverwriteFiles/BG2EE

 

 

Hello, its me. I restarted the install as explained before, by closing the program with task manager, and when I re-opened the install it continued from before, but it still stops working once it reaches the file : 

 
 Output file is stratagems_external\workspace\ssl_out/dw#melee.baf 
 
it stops at 3 "Copying and patching 1 file ..." 
 
can anyone help? Please don't tell me I have to re-start from 0, its 3/4 done...

I think I just caught the program doing something flashy. Correct me if I'm wrong since my understanding of this is limited, but I believe this is just reinstalling the same file over and over, I saw it stuck in the melee file, then it switched to another, and then back to the melee file again, same one also, and stuck again at 3 lines

In the windows task bar, the BWS icon shows Script Paused and shines with a red X over it when right clicking it, dunno if it has anything to do at all. 

I have to work now, so I'll be back in 8 hours or so, I'll leave the install like it is maybe something works or not, buts its been like this since 8 am, I'll update you when I come back

I have reached to the conclussion that there is something wrong with this "melee" file when it comes down to Sword Coast Stratagems, I'm having the same problem as Aloe, it just gets stuck during the install of this file

Gavin BG1 updates to v11.

Changes are: there are only 6 portrait choices in the subcomponent "Alternate portraits", and the default portrait doesn't have to be installed via this subcomponent (since it's already installed by the main component).

Just to notify. My PC is pretty damn good, and I have an SSD, but I had to leave the SCS install for 4 DAYS!  It was not that it got stuck, but that it was TERRIBLY SLOW while applying to single files there. I can't honestly admit that it was my PC, but maybe something else? I remember 1 year ago I did the same install but it didnt take as long.

Unique items (regardless if they are found, rewarded for quests or buyable) in all the regions of the mod TDD are shown as identify scrolls in my playtrough.

Also Xp earned for finishing quests and killing fiends is ridiculous low.

 

Moreover when you arrive at the Forest of Myr for the second time (when your party turns into drows) Jarlaxle dialogue exists of picking a weapon proficiency for him and thats it.

The dialogue he was supposed to have doesnt trigger afterwards.

For Jarlaxle you can try

SetGlobal("tz_jarlaxe1home","GLOBAL",1) this may advance the drow quest but skip the initial dialogue. (You must be in that Myr area where you meet Jarlaxle for this "DD8000")

 

And run change-log for Jarlaxe1.dlg to see which mod has changed it. (i have my suspicion already...)
